It's everyone's favourite . . . Italian!

Eagerly anticipated and often booked weeks in advance, Italian week is a firm favourite with McGill's customers.  And we have a new dish for you to try this week, turkey cannelloni.  I am excited to try this one!  And as Sally's gnocchi is frequently requested, it will always be available for you, as either an appetizer or a main.  This truly is awesome!  Whichever dish you choose, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.  Filling, flavourful, this is the ultimate comfort food.  Top off the perfect dining experience with one of our exquisite desserts.  And perhaps a little wine to wash it all down. 
 
Give us a call today on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are open to serve you three nights a week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  All of our dishes are freshly prepared, but we can assure you the wait is definitely worth it!  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere at its very finest.  Find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas. We'd love for you to join us.
 
And don't forget to reserve your table for you and your Valentine.  We are running our Valentine special not only Thursday, February 14, but also Friday and Saturday by reservation only.  Enjoy a romantic 4-course dinner for $45 or a 5-course dinner for $55 per person in our beautiful fine dining area.
